WIRING
Please use Diagram 1 below to familiarize yourself with the rear panel of your outdoor speaker.
Attach the speaker cable to the speaker cable terminals, observing the proper polarity with your amplifier, + to + (red) and – to –
(black). Make sure to connect the right channel to the right speaker and the left channel to the left speaker.

PLACEMENT
Placement Under Eaves and Outdoors
When mounting your speakers outdoors, the eaves of the roof
provide an ideal location. They reduce the exposure of constant
direct sunlight, salt spray, and precipitation. If installing speak-
ers on a boat, the wheelhouse provides the best location for the
same reasons. Following these suggestions will help to ensure
that your speakers will last a lifetime.
Placement on a Wall or Bookshelf
When placing your speakers on a wall or bookshelf, optimal
sound will be achieved if they are mounted at ear level or slightly
higher. The usual listening area should be no closer to the speak-
ers than the distance between the speakers themselves.
ADJUSTING THE PIVOTING TWEETER
Depending upon your listening area, you may find the sound
more pleasing by pointing the tweeter in a particular direction. If
additional treble is desired, simply point the tweeter towards that
area; if less treble is required, point the tweeter away.
